Juan Mata has said that Spain face two finals in the space of a few days in the week ahead.

Spain take on Finland on Friday before facing an absolutely crucial game with France next week.

“We are all aware that there are two finals for us against Finland and against France,” Mata told Movistar today.

“As the Coach has already said, it would be a mistake though to think of the game in France because first we have to win in Gijon. There are six important points here to achieve the goal, and hopefully we can do it."
